“…It has been reported that the ability to determine the position of the upper limb in space tends to degrade during visual occlusion, implying that proprioception drifts when it is not calibrated by vision. 9,40 By contrast, other studies failed to reveal a deterioration in ability to estimate upper-limb location when vision was occluded. 11,12,19 In all these previous studies, position sense was assessed in the upper limbs and not in the lower limbs as in this study.…”

The effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs

et al. 2007

Impaired position sense and impaired joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after muscle-damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increased risk of injury, particularly in older populations. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether position sense and joint reaction angle to release can be affected by eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage. Twelve women underwent an isokinetic exercise session of the lower limb. Isometric peak torque, delayed-onset muscle soreness, serum creatine kinase, position sense, and knee joint reaction angle to release were examined before, immediately after, and 24, 48, and 72 h post-exercise. Due to the effect of eccentric exercise, subjects persistently placed their lower limb at a more extended position, representing a shorter knee extensor muscle. Eccentric exercise increased the knee reaction angle of the lower limb after release from 0 degrees and 15 degrees but not from 30 degrees and 45 degrees . Position sense and joint reaction to release were similarly affected by eccentric exercise and independently of visual feedback. Position sense was impaired only immediately post-exercise (probably due to muscle fatigue), whereas impairment of the reaction angle to release persisted up to 3 days post-exercise (probably due to muscle damage). Attenuation of position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increase risk of injury, particularly in older populations.

“…9,13,24 It is frequently measured by asking a subject to move the limb from a resting position to a reference position as rapidly as possible in response to a visual or auditory stimulus. 14,19,20,26 Two studies investigated the effect of eccentric exercise on muscle reaction time of the upper limbs after a light stimulus and produced contrasting results.…”

“…Several studies have shown that limb position sense decays over time, even at intervals as short as a few seconds [22][23][24]. This decay could potentially improve performance in the crossed-hands condition specifically since impaired performance in this condition is due to interference from a proprioceptive signal in an external spatial reference frame.…”

Dynamic Tuning of Tactile Localization to Body Posture

et al. 2015

Localizing touch in space is essential for goal-directed action. Because body posture changes, the brain must transform tactile coordinates from an initial skin-based representation to external space by integrating information about current posture. This process, referred to as tactile remapping, generally results in accurate localization, but accuracy drops when skin-based and external spatial representations of touch are conflicting, e.g., after crossing the limbs. Importantly, frequent experience of such postures can improve localization. This suggests that remapping may not only integrate current sensory input but also prior experience. Here, we demonstrate that this can result in rapid changes in localization performance over the course of few trials. We obtained an implicit measure of tactile localization by studying the perceived temporal order of two touches, one on each hand. Crucially, we varied the number of consecutive trials during which participants held their arms crossed or uncrossed. As expected, accuracy dropped immediately after the arms had been crossed. Importantly, this was followed by a progressive recovery if posture was maintained, despite the absence of performance feedback. Strikingly, a significant improvement was already evident in the localization of the second pair of touches. This rapid improvement required preceding touch in the same posture and did not occur merely as a function of time. Moreover, even touches that were not task relevant led to improved localization of subsequent touch. Our findings show that touches are mapped from skin to external space as a function of recent tactile experience.

“…Although this drift in position sense was insignificant for all but the 15°wrist flexion target in the first control condition, it was qualitatively present for the majority of target positions in each condition. The issue of proprioceptive drift was assessed by Wann and Ibrahim (1992) to clarify conflicting reports in the literature that either supported (Craske and Cranshaw 1975;Prablanc et al 1979) or refuted (Del Ray and Lichter 1971;Lee and Kelso 1979) the existence of a drift in the sense of limb position with visual occlusion. Wann and Ibrahim (1992) studied the capacity of subjects to correctly indicate the position of the right hand (i.e.…”

The impact of whole-hand vibration exposure on the sense of angular position about the wrist joint

Short-duration exposure to whole-hand vibration is insufficient to compromise post-vibration position sense in the wrist joint, except near the end range of joint movement in wrist extension. Complement contribution of different proprioceptive receptors (muscle, joint, and skin receptors) seems to be crucial for accuracy to reproduce passive movements, since the capacity of any individual class of receptor to deliver information about movement and position of the limbs is limited.
